Arrington Mystery #4
A Wife's Secret
“Don’t come looking for me… I have to end this…”
Is death as final as it seems? Some believe that a person’s spirit never dies.
And for Paxton Arrington, his wife’s spirit lives on in his memories, in his moments of grief, and at times in his moments of hopelessness.
To this day, the search for the truth behind her death continues to propel him forward.
Paxton never believed the official story… He knew Veronica had been murdered. But he’d been short on evidence to support that belief and for several years, he’d found himself treading water, both with the case of his wife’s death and with the pain of his greatest loss.
But then a shocking murder and a mysterious email kick started the investigation into her death once more.
While following a trail of clues left by his long dead wife, Paxton finds himself embroiled in a game of cat and mouse against an unknown adversary who is willing to do anything to keep their secrets buried. But what Paxton finds at the end of that trail proved even more elusive and shocking than he had ever imagined…
Old foes emerge to stop him, while new friends help Paxton along the way to discover what happened to his wife that cold autumn night.
Finding the truth will require him to confront the darkest parts of himself.
Getting the answers he’s been looking for, might force him to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Darkness has a way of eluding the light.
Nothing is ever simple.
But one questions remains…
What is the price of truth and vengeance?

Rounding up to 3
The pros: The mystery surrounding Veronica’s death is finally solved
The cons: Oh, gosh, so many! First off, the grammar! Where was the editor? There are so many issues with noun and verb agreement, something that’s learned in elementary school or used to be learned? If you need a proofreader, drop me a line.
Secondly, in one page the name Veronica is used 3 times, and one time she’s called Victoria!
And, lastly the month of May which is capitalized, is randomly used as may.
And, my final con. When did our protagonist, Pax turn into the ROCK? Seriously, this man gets into more fights in this book than any other. And, it’s all completely unbelievable.

Well I love catching up with the character, Pax Arrington. This is the 4th in the series and I hope another one is coming.
Pax is from a wealthy family, but he doesn't want to pursue any career of heading up the media empire that his father owns. He starts his own PI agency, along with his best friend and computer expert, Broday. Blake Wilder, of the FBI, is one of his dearest friends and you will see her again in this one.
This time Pax is on the trail to finding out who killed his wife, Veronica. Although, the police and everyone else thinks it is just a car accident, Pax never did. When Veronica's partner is found dead, he leaves a note and clues to Pax about what case they were working on. At every turn, Pax has to fight for his life to find out the true story about what happened to Veronica!
Another great one by Elle Gray!!!

I love Elle Gray's work, I really do. I don't understand the community ratings being as high as they are though. For a multitude of reasons. First, grammar, typos, character arcs, and the absolute narcissism of her characters. Though, I do love her stories and plotting, she includes way too many introspective and repetitive "thoughts" along the way. For example, yes, Pax is rich, we know that, he doesn't need to tell us every three pages how rich he is. Were he my son, he'd not be. He has some sort of trust fund, what the amount is we don't know, but his parents do periodically threaten to cut him off so it's not in his full control. He's remarkably ungrateful for this resource. He doesn't want to be part of the family business, fine, but we don't need to be told that every other chapter either.
This is a man who needs therapy and lots of it. His absolute obsession with his dead wife, to the point of shutting down emotionally for six years, well, I understand that, my youngest son committed suicide 25 years ago last month, I am still harmed by that, but I am not obsessed, I think of him every day, but I am not crippled by it. I sought therapy after his death, I learned how to deal with it, it was crippling for a while - I actually turned off my phones for a full year and did nothing but work and read two books (more than 40 times) that helped me more than therapy did. I did some things wrong - ALL of which Pax has done, that didn't manifest as real problems until the 10th anniversary, when I went through therapy again and learned what I'd done wrong, it's something called complicated bereavement syndrome, where one doesn't actually complete the grieving process and which then causes all manner of problems (many one would never connect to the precipitating event) emotionally and physically. The primary one I did wrong, and it's the same thing Pax did, was I closed off his room, after a while it was like that room didn't exist, I never went in there, I didn't even see the door after a while even though it is right next to my own bedroom. So, instead of completing the grieving process, I walled it off. Pax does the same thing by keeping Veronica's office exactly as she left it and thinking about her, it seems, ALL the time, every single day. Given there was reason, she was in fact murdered, that's a bit more understandable but still incredibly unhealthy emotionally.
So, enough about me, and Pax and our issues. At last, after four books, he is able to prove Veronica was in fact murdered and solve that case. I do not believe the FDA is as easily "bought" as this book alleges, I think that a disservice to a fine organization and a badly needed one. That there are men who will try to circumvent the process, falsify data is indisputable. That there are men kidnapping homeless people, prostitutes and others off the streets and using them as human guinea pigs, well, that's possible, I suppose, but highly unlikely to get away with for more than a decade, which is what happens here.
I liked Veronica, until this book. I always had an issue with her death, but this book made clear to me why. They had a wonderful life together, they could have had a long and happy marriage, children, everything. She chose to die without ever proving her theory. I don't think a "great" journalist would do that. She had a ton of resources available to her and made use of NONE of them. She established a relationship with Fish, who has been extremely helpful to Blake Wilder, who could have helped her. She had access to Pax, who is an extremely strong, capable cop (at that time) with the financial resources to help her prove her theory and protect her, instead she chooses to accept that she will die, and makes a video (two videos) hidden in a place he would never discover, and didn't either, it is Marcy, Brody's girlfriend and also a true crime investigator, who discovers those files. I will never understand her motive for handling things that way, for not using all the resources she had to protect herself and reveal the truth. She could have saved countless lives but chose to simply die and leave a trail that would take six years to uncover. That's not much of a marriage, in my opinion, putting her "job" before her life and her marriage? That's not something reasonable people do. It just isn't.
The problem I have with Elle's protagonists is their narcissism. They think they are always the smartest person in any room. They don't accept help, they push people away, they antagonize potential allies simply because they don't like them or have no respect for them. Example, Pax walks into the Seattle PD to talk to interim deputy chief Lee determined to not cause problems and immediately begins insulting the first cop he comes across. Why? He's still so obsessed with his wife that he sabotages his new relationship before it really even gets started. People are constantly giving him good advice which he never takes. Because only he actually knows anything. Somehow he becomes Rambo in this book, how I have no idea. But it's not believable. That he was so damaged after his time in the dungeon he had to spend an entire week in a hospital, but was still fighting and charging up stairs is not believable. Adrenaline can't do that much.
His half baked plan to infiltrate Lomtin, with Marcy, just to plant a bug, but also revealing everything he's discovered was a huge mistake. His over confidence in his abilities, again his narcissism, nearly cost him his life. The only thing he did right was sending the two time delayed emails as misdirection and a third to Veronica's sister, even though he suspected she might not read it given their antagonistic relationship and that she'd told him earlier NOT to contact her again. It was pure chance that she read that email and then acted on it so the FBI could actually rescue him. I liked Veronica's last email to him, it was loving and thoughtful, but it was also completely unnecessary if she had simply acted more professionally and smarter in the first place. She simply accepted that she'd be killed and wrote him a loving letter from the grave telling him to move on and find new love. THAT would be heart breaking under any circumstance, but after six years of obsession and just after viewing that last video, he's smiles and has a date with May again. Unreal.
All of this sabotaged what was really a good story, Elle could be so much better with a good editor behind her, she has tremendous talent but needs help finetuning her work. I really don't like Pax, he's antagonistic to everyone but a few people and not a good "hero" in my opinion. Blake Wilder has the same sort of emotional baggage and issues but the stories are also well told, even though the same character flaws are present in those, the introspection that serves no purpose and takes up far too much of the books, so much that it's possible to lose track of the story. It took me a month to finish this book, I just couldn't take Pax for more than a few pages at a time. I usually storm through a book in a couple days, but couldn't with this one. So, though Elle has two other series going, I wouldn't mind if this was the last I saw of Pax. Blake and Olivia (both of whom have their own distracting issues) I'll continue reading because I really do like Elle's stories. And, despite this, I wish her well, I hope she gets an editor and a publishing house picks her up, she'd be a star with a team behind her because the talent is clearly there.

Amazing
Once again, Elle Gray amazes me with her deeply creative imagination and taking said imagination, putting it descriptively on paper, while captivating her readers until the very last page.

I couldn't put the book down. I am glad to see Paxton get his closure finally. I am looking forward to see where Blake's journey leads to next.

Not as good as the first three
I enjoyed the series overall, but this one wasn't quite as good. Somewhat predictable and characters getting repeating their dialogue over and over throughout the book. This is okay to do a little to refresh your memory but it was done too much and got boring. The editing was very poor also...tons of mistakes.

Naïve about Drugs
I do like this series, but things got a bit far fetched with the plot of this book. Spoiler Alert - Severe birth defects caused by a drug would not be covered up. Many drugs have a pregnancy category X, which means it is not safe to take while pregnant. There are several blood pressure medications and even ibuprofen can’t be taken during the third trimester. A cancer drug definitely would not be used during pregnancy. Those ads you see on TV for cancer drugs don’t cure, but give you an extra 10 months of life. A drug with a 50% cure rate would be considered a miracle drug. So, we are supposed to believe that a drug with an 85% cure rate, would cover up a side effect and murder people? Even if the cancer came back after 5 years, it would be a miracle drug worth billions of dollars.
Why the author just didn’t use the medical experimentation plot, which was barely a footnote, I don’t know. That would have been more likely to be covered up by murder, yet it was a one sentence mention by Marcy and then about a page at the end of the book.
By the end, this book got nothing from me but an eye roll. It just was not researched at all.

A definite must read book and series
This has been an exciting, crazy, and interesting series with a perfect amount of humor, drama, angst, mystery, and suspense. The terrific characters make it easy to enjoy, and the intriguing stories are what makes these fantastic thrillers. It's certainly not a series that you'll want to miss!
I would highly recommend that you read this series and the Blake Wilder FBI series together. It's not necessary to enjoy either one, but it will give you a better understanding of the characters, connections, the time lines of their lives and cases, as well as the dynamics between the two characters and their friends. Both are absolutely fantastic series, and you definitely won't be disappointed.
I really hope that there will be many more stories, in both series, coming very soon!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

This is the 4th and last book of the Pax Arrington series by Elle Gray. Pax had been employed by the Seattle police department for 10 years, but was finally let go because of insubordination. Never one to hold his tongue and suffer fools gladly, it is surprising that he lasted 10 years. After leaving the Seattle PD, he decided to set up his own detective agency with his computer savvy friend, Brody. In each book, he solves a different crime, while never accepting that his wife died in a car accident, believing that she was instead murdered. In this last book, Pax finally discovers who is responsible for his wife's murder and brings the perpetrators to justice. I recommend this series and the author (Elle Gray) for those who enjoy reading police thrillers and other similar authors, such as Leslie Wolfe.

Kind of anticlimactic...
One thing I hadn't really noticed in previous books that were mentioned in other reviews was grammatical errors. I noticed it in this one.
Beyond that, the book was alright, not terrible, not amazing. It was nice to FINALLY get answers regarding his wife's mysterious death, but also kind of a bummer because it clearly took place after Blake's (1st? I'm guessing?) book, so there were some spoilers. Blake was missing in this book too, and I'd much rather experience Blake and Paxtons banter than the somewhat nauseating love story that Marcy's involvement brings to the table with the IT guy.
The story itself was not bad- pretty detailed and well executed.

This book was a very good. Poor Pax had to get beaten to death so he can start to live.I enjoy the books never a dull moment. Mostly no bad language or descriptive sex.. I like to leave things to my imagination. Looking forward to next series. Than you. I'm looking forward to next series.
I have read many of your books that I get from Amazon and I have never been disappointed. Keep writing.

Awesome series of books
I enjoyed all the series of Elle gray and can't wait for the next one. I really like that the books center around a main character such as Blake wilder but include paxton, brody, astra and o!ivia characters. I love the characters and and the interaction and how they are all connected in the stories. Looking forward to the next one, I think I have read them all now!

I really enjoyed this series the best of the two Elle Gray series I have read (Blake Wilder Books 1-7 and Pax Arrington 1-4). I particularly like the evolution of the protagonist in this series. While Pax is always talking about how his relationship with his late wife changed him, I think Elle Gray shows her progress as a writer in her development of Pax. It’s a good read. I thought it was worth the time.

Truth be told
This is a completely made up story. Pure fiction or is it. Part of this story would most definitely be categorized as fiction but the medical trials. Whose to say there isn't such a lab. A pharmaceutical company willing to pay off whom ever they can just to make a buck. Think about it. Good story..... until the very last page.

Best so Far
Pax takes more chances than a Vegas gambler as he fights to prove Veronica was murdered. The fallout from her murder threatens to extinguish his friends and his life. The Thirteen are defeated but we’re they what Veronica was after? Or is there another more even more evil threat out there? Pax, Darcy, Brody and Blake are about to find out.

Answers to mystery
Definitely hit the mark with this one. Happy to get some of the answers to the burning questions in Paxtons life throughout the last few books, and written as well as every other book Ella writes. I've read every one to date and recommend her to anyone who likes a good mystery.

a complete experience
When this story carried you through the lives of these characters it gave you a sense like you were on their team. They were really interesting people all with real emotions and issues. The essence of decency ran through the entire story without being preachy. Thank you for your efforts to entertain us.

Great mystery series
I love the Pax Arrington series. It was nice to not have sexual dramatization when they especially aren't part of a story line. I hope there are more to read. I caught on to this series after reading Blake Wilder. And I certainly want to know what is happening next with Blake, here sister And what house fire!?

Great book from the beginning to the end.
I love how Elle Gray intertwines Pax and Blake’s stories. Can’t wait for the next book. Would love to see them get together and have their stories continue after that. So many authors stop after a couple gets together. That’s not life. Hopefully this will be different.

MIND BLOWING
Book 4 put all the pieces together of what happened to his wife. I am glad he can finally rest and put closure to it. Now he can reconnect with his sister in law. The way the author put this story together was great. I could not put the book down until I finished reading it. And the cliffhanger about Blake is great. Author did an amazing job.
